Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 152

On April 4th, Benfica will play against No.17 Leiria at home. lose points.

Before the regular pre-match press conferences of the coaches of both sides, the reporters who went to the scene to interview were notified by the Benfica club that the team will hold a small temporary press conference and invite everyone to participate.

What kind of tricks does the Benfica club play at this time?
When the reporters rushed to the news hall of the Stadium of Light, they found that there were Benfica's "big four": coach Trapattoni, captain and vice-captain Simão, Nuno Gomez, and a bandaged shoulder. ronando.

"Gentlemen, I invite you to come today to witness an important moment for Benfica. After the club's careful decision, Benfica will appoint Cristiano Ronaldo as the team's vice-captain from today to participate in the team's daily management."

With Trapattoni's loud announcement, everyone suddenly realized that this was to give Ronando a formal core identity of the team.

A 17-year-old captain of the Portuguese super giants, although he is only the vice-captain, there are two great gods in front of him, Simao and Nuno Gomez, but this is already very remarkable!When did the three overlords of the Portuguese Super League have a captain who was only 17 years old, and it was only a few months before Ronando entered the professional league!

"Wow!~~"

There was a lot of applause at the scene, and the reporters present applauded warmly. In fact, many reporters here participated in the siege of Ronando a few days ago. After the truth came out, they all felt ashamed of this young star , but who told them to eat this bowl of rice, they can only pretend to be confused and wipe away the embarrassment.

Ronando stood there, stretched out his left arm, and let Trapattoni put the symbolic captain's armband on his left arm with a calm face.

"Thank you all for coming to my ceremony. Benfica is the second team I joined and I love him. Here, I not only learned to play football, but also learned to be a human being. I think I will never forget to fight in Benfica's team for the rest of my life. Day and night. The season is not over yet, my partners and I will do our best to bring joy to the fans of Benfica!"

Elvas and Benfica are both Ronaldo's home teams, and the two clubs, Sporting Lisbon and Sporting Lisbon, which are only a few minutes away, are not counted. At this time, people don't think that the two clubs There is no loss, but when Ronando becomes a big player in world football in the future, the fans of the two clubs will deeply appreciate this difference.

They can't proudly say that that person was once a member of our team like the fans of Elvas and Benfica!

In an extremely ordinary bar in the west of Lisbon, a Chinese man and a woman were sitting side by side in a corner far away from the TV screen.

"Tongtong, is this the first time we've watched football together?"

"Ah."

"What's wrong? Not happy?"

"No, of course not. But I'd rather be in the stands and watch you play."

"It's okay, I'm as strong as a cow. The team doctor said that my injury will heal in a few days. Why don't you believe it? We are not ordinary Chinese, even Europeans are not as good as me! Wow!... I am in every aspect The ability to completely surpass those European guys...Tongtong, do you want to try it?"

"Bah! A dog can't spit out ivory!... You should try it with your Portuguese sister... I really don't understand, you, a little rascal, have really become a big star in Portugal! Will you play next season?" Where will you play football? Don’t worry, I’m just asking, I won’t say anything.”

"Hey! Who wants to go to someone else? Naturally, if you want to try, you should go to Tongtong, who is beautiful and beautiful..."

"No more nonsense! See if I don't slap you in the face! If you really want to try, then just wait! You have to wait 100 years at the earliest!"

"100 years...seems like a long time, why don't we shorten it a little bit, say 10 days? I think this time point is more appropriate... Hey! Don't splash!...Manchester United! I'm going to Premier League Manchester United! Old Tela Ford, Ferguson, and chubby Rooney that silly boy... Wow, the Red Devils, I'm going to save the Red Devils, it's exciting to think about it!"

"Manchester United? They are a giant in the Premier League, can they have you? Manchester United already have a Chinese striker, Dong Fangzhuo?"

"Wow cool! You have to have confidence in me! Can that little Dong compare with your Ronan Dou?...Stop it! I'm warning you little girl! Don't throw wine at anyone, it's too unlady...Tongtong, Are you going back to China this summer?... Do you want to work part-time to earn tuition fees? Don't! I'm going to China, so I'll hire you as a tour guide. The fee is up to you. Row!"

"Ronando, I found that not only your fame has increased, but also your face has grown fast... If you don't play hooligans, you will die!"

The teams that broke into the top four of the Europa League this season all have a lot of background, such as Newcastle United in the Premier League, Parma in Serie A, Alkmaar in the Eredivisie, and Benfica in Portugal.

Among the four teams, the Eredivisie Alkmaar is the least well-known one. It is just a typical country team, but this season the team miraculously began to rise. Under the dominance of Ajax, the other two teams, Parma and Newcastle United, are undoubtedly traditional European teams.

In the draw for the semi-finals, Benfica won the Serie A Parma, which can be regarded as a lottery.

The glorious period of Parma was undoubtedly in the 90s, when a large number of shining names appeared in this team, Dino Baggio, Philip Inzaghi, Buffon, Cannavaro, Thuram, Crespo... Parma also won 2 UEFA Cups, 2 Coppa Italias, 1 European Cup Winners Cup, and was runner-up in Serie A.

In the 2002-03 season, Parma was known as the Serie A Youth Guard. Brazilian striker Reiter Adriano and Romanian striker Adrian Mutu formed a frightening striker combination, leading Parma to regain its glory.

However, a sudden tragedy befell the team in 2003. As the team sponsor Parmalat Group went bankrupt due to alleged financial violations, the boss went to jail, Parma was handed over to the government, Adriano and Mu Tushuangshuang left the team, and Parma quickly went downhill.

Last season was the first year that Parma was entrusted by the government. Under the leadership of the 21-year-old young forward Alberto Gilardino who suddenly broke out, the team's players once again won the fifth place in Serie A. What a miracle, Alberto Gilardino himself scored 5 goals in a season, only one goal behind Andriy Shevchenko ranked second in the Serie A scorer list, and was named the best rookie in Serie A that year.

However, Parma, which has been in custody for two consecutive years, finally couldn't hold on anymore. This year's Alberto Gilardino is still brave, but the team has already fallen into the relegation zone of Serie A!
An old Serie A team entrusted by the government and deep in the relegation zone is Benfica's opponent in the semi-finals.

Benfica's draw in the semi-finals was first away and then home. On April 4, the team went to Parma, a city in northern Italy.

Unlike the last game against Auxerre, France, this time, thousands of Benfica fans accompanied the team to Italy, not only because the game has reached the semi-finals, but also because Benfica's Red Eagle fans no longer want to see their own The team is alone.

In the 10 days before this game, Benfica played two league games against underdogs Leiria and Estoril. As a result, the two captains, Simão and Nuno Gomez, each led a team. A half-substitute lineup played and won the game 1-0 without any risk.

However, in the league standings, Benfica did not make much progress. Sporting Lisbon and Porto also gritted their teeth and won two consecutive victories. Only Boavista was forced by the University of Coimbra due to the impact of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals. even.

In the semi-final of the Portuguese Cup, Benfica, who came off the bench, had a tough fight with Boavista, and finally lost 0:1, ending the Portuguese competition this season. The Europa League and the league championship can be won, but giving up the Portuguese Cup is a last resort.

After the first 30 rounds of the league, Sporting Lisbon has 62 points, Benfica has 60 points, Porto has 58 points and Boavista has 56 points.

Except that Boavista should have no hope of winning the championship, the first three teams still have a chance, and the probability of winning is different.

Although Porto is behind, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica have a fight in the 33rd round. Benfica will also meet Boavista in the final round. Low, if Benfica and Sporting Lisbon fight both sides, it is Porto's chance.

The bus from Benfica drove out of the airport and slowly drove into the city of Parma. This is a small city on the plains of northern Italy with a population of 20. Because it does not belong to the peninsula, the climate is relatively dry. It is the best season of the year, with moderate temperature and lush flowers and plants everywhere.

Ronando couldn't help but feel that the biggest difference between Europe and China is the flow of people, the second is greening, and other buildings are second. The living environment of Europeans is much better than that of Chinese. .

The bus drove down the ring road, and a large number of fans began to gather along the way, including Benfica fans and Parma fans.

On both sides of the street, there are also a large number of UEFA and the team flags of the two teams, as well as large posters of important players from both sides. Of course, Ronaldo's head is also included.

Compared with Benfica's red jerseys, Parma's jerseys are too distinctive. This team has a nickname called "Crusaders". Their jerseys have a light blue base color and two black horizontal stripes on the chest. Crossing lines, looking at the past, it is like hanging a huge cross on the chest.
